Armchairs

This is a pair of armchairs that harmoniously combines Western and Chinese elements. The overall shape and decorative carving show a European influence, while traditional techniques such as inlaid mother-of-pearl are Chinese. For the mother-of-pearl, conch shells and seashells are polished into thin pieces, which are inlaid on the surface of the object and placed together in patterns, creating a magnificent artistic effect. Flowers, figures, and garden scenes are inlaid into the back splat and other parts of the chair. The craftsperson uses advanced techniques. The shape of the chair is graceful, with flowing lines and an elegant and refined style.
